Hayward lists it as W3S244T2, and you will also see the same filter referred to by the older S244T2 number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop mount\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe valve sits on top of the tank instead of on the side. That keeps the equipment pad footprint tighter and puts the plumbing connections up where they are easy to reach. The 2 inch valve suits larger plumbing runs and the flow rates that go with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSand filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sand filter is the least demanding of the three filter types to own. There are no grids to pull and no cartridges to replace on a schedule. Routine maintenance is backwashing, and the sand bed itself lasts for years before it needs changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilter sand is not included.
